To all whom it may concern.:

Be it known that we, EMILE CORNELY and ROBERT CORNELY, of Paris, France,have invented a new and useful Attachment for Embroidering-Machines,which is fully set forth in the following specification.

The nature of the invention will be understood by reference to theaccompanying drawings and to the following description.

Figure l represents the head of a universal embroidering-machine orbraiding-machine to which our present improvementis adapted. Fig. 2 is afront elevation of our attachment with the parts in the position theyoccupy just previous to the rising of the nipple-tube. Fig. 3 is a viewat right angles to Fig. 2, with the spring-blades removed. Figs. 4, 5,and 6 are views of the plait-forming spring blades in their differentpositions. Fig. 7 is a plan view of the ring which is attached to thenipple-tube.

The plaiting organs consist of two springblades E and V, which aresecured to a hub Gr, which can` turn freely on the central tube, and ofa ring X, which is secured to the nipple-tube B by means of a screw c,said ring X being provided with two openings Lland 5,

Fig. 7, through which the spring-blades pass down to the cloth.

The ribbon s which is to be plaited passes through the central tube Adown through the nipple tube B, from` which it cornes out throughopening 2. Thence it passes through two openings in spring-blade E, overits horizontal knife, and then under spring-blade V down to thematerial, as represented at Figs. 2 and 6. When the nipple-tube B rises,the two blades E and V are closed up one against the other by the actionof ring X against the inclines 6 and are brought in the positionrepresented at Fig. l and on an enlarged scale at Fig. 4. They thus forma plait of the ribbon and hold it tightly. In this position thespring-blades are pushed downward by the action of spring m, which issecured to the head of the machine andwhich acts against lever Y andslide H, which at its lower end is provided with a forkv flywhichreaches into the groove g. The plait being pressed firmly against thecloth, the needle-row pierces it, and then the nipple tube B descendsand opens the spring-blades E and V into the position represented atFigs. 2 and 6, and then the nipple C descends upon the cloth and holdsthe plait firmly during the time the plait is sewed to the material,after which the sleeve G and itsblades V and AE are raised up again bycam I for the next following operation. The turning motion of sleeve Gin conformity with the universal feed for the production of the 'work inall directions is obtained by means of the coupling-rod Z, Fig. 3, whichissecured to the sleeve Gr and which extends into a recess 8 of ringX,Figi '7, the nipple-tube B being coupled -in all bradin'gmachines to thecentral tube A, which is turned by the crank-handle of the machine bymeans of shaft N and cog-wheels O and P. The sleeve G can also be turnedby a coupling-pin of wheel U, which can also be turned by thecrank-handle by means of shaft N and cog-wheels Q, R, S, and T.

When the plaiting is done with a sewingmachine which works with athreaded needle, the application of a nipple is no more necessary, asthe two blades hold the plait firmly v on the material until the needlehas stitched through it. ,y A nipple is only requiredwhen the machineworks with a needle-hook.4

We claim-4- I. yIn combination with a sewing or em-4 broidering machine,a plaiting or folding attachment for ribbon-braid or the like consistingof a plurality of blades each adapted to engage the ribbon-braid or thelike and means for actuating said blades to cause the same to pass oroverlap each other in the line of movement of the sewing-needle therebyforming the ribbon-braid or the like into folds between the blades.

2. In combination with a sewing or embroidering machine, a plaiting orfolding attachment for ribbon-braid orthe like consisting of a pluralityof blades each adapted to engage the ribbon-braid or the like and meansfor actuating said blades to cause the same to pass or overlap eachother in the linelof movement of the sewing-needle and form theribbon-braid or the like into folds beneath the sewing-needle said foldsbeing stitched together upon the downward movement of the needle.

3. In combination with a sewing or embroidering machine, a plaiting orfolding atsol lcd

tachment for ribbon-braid or the like consisting of a plurality ofblades depending from the head of the machine and each adapted to engagethe ribbon-braid or the like at its lower end, and means for moving saidblades toward each other at their lower ends causing said ends to passor overlap therebyforming the ribbon-braid or the like into folds.

4f. In combination with a sewing or embroidering machine, a plaiting orfolding at tachment for ribbon-braid or the like consist-V ing of aplurality of blades depending from the head of the machine and eachadapted to engage the ribbon-braid or the like at its lower end, meansfor reciprocating the blades vertically, and means for moving saidblades toward each other at their lower ends causing said ends to passor overlap thereby forming the ribbon-braid or the like into folds.

5. In combination, a sewing or embroidering machine, a plaiting orfolding attachment for ribbon-braid or the like consisting of aplurality of normally-separated spring-blades each adapted to engage theribbon-braid or the like and means for moving said blades toward eachother at one end against their tension to canse the same to pass oroverlap each other thereby forming the ribbon-braid or the like intofolds between the same.

6. In combination, a universalfeed sewing or embroidering machine, aplaiting or folding attachment for ribbon-braid or the like consistingof a plurality of blades each adapted to engage the ribbon-braid or thelike and means for actuating said blades to Icause the same to pass oroverlap each other thereby forming the ribbon-braid or the like -intofolds between the blades, and means for `operating said blades inaccordance with the universal feed of the machine.
